For many years, I didn't have a personal bank account and only had a business account. I didn't have an ATM card or a check card for any account. Although I have a credit card, I never use it. It is only for extreme emergencies which never seem to happen. What I did when I was on vacation (normally Miami Beach) was go to the bank once a day and withdraw between $500.00 and $1,000.00, usually on the low end of that. That amount would generally be more than enough for the night. Because I didn't have an ATM card, I didn't have access to any more cash, so I would have to make do on the money I withdrew from the bank earlier that day. The logic there was that I would always have a decent amount of cash for the night, but I wouldn't be able to go apeshit even if I wanted to, because I didn't have access to any more cash.

This is almost exactly what I do on nights when I know I can go out, fuck around, and blow X amount of dollars. If you plan it out earlier and withdraw as much as you can part with, it makes things much easier.

Although I don't know much about Vegas, what you guys are saying about having somewhere between $300 and $1000 in your pocket is good advice for even the most expensive cities in the U.S. Unless you plan getting bottles and tables, $300 is going to be more than enough to drink all night. At expensive venue with $10 drinks, that would be 30 drinks. Even if you're a heavy drinker I don't think it would be possible to go through that many in one night unless you weigh 400 pounds or something.

LV is a blast but costs $$$

A better thread might be:
'DO LV or spend same $$ elsewhere like Colombia and live like a king?'

For me, the daily FIXED COST of LV would be : Shared room at encore + day party bottles + night bottles @ XS plus MEALS

that's an easy $600 right there. not counting 'miscellaneous'. and 'miscellaneous' can go through the roof.

bottom line, not a place for someone on a budget. try panama city beach or something...

Edit: $2500 for 3 day weekend makes no sense to me, especially if the primary purpose is to get ass. I mean if you're going there for the "Vegas experience" and hang out with the boys and just party it up, maybe. If you don't give a shit about that, I could think of way better uses of 3 day weekend (Florida, DR, Mexico).

I personally prefer Cabo and Scottsdale to Vegas. That said, Vegas is fun for what it is and it's not that much per guy unless you are suckered.

You usually put 2-4 guys in a suite.

Here's a suite reservation at the Wynn with no hookups, full price. Call, ask around for better rates.

A day bed at a pool party isn't that much. It's a minimum spend. Figure $500-1000. Split between 3 guys, that's not that much. (And you don't even need a day bed.)

The party at Encore ends around 6 p.m. Girls are buzzed. The strategy is to bring them back to your room. It's not that hard.

Don't do the bottle service at XS.

There's actually a lot of great advice in the Vegas thread CP posted. He just didn't listen to it.

http://www.wynnlasvegas.com/

hit hotel and air in the bottom left. If you do it this way a) flight prices are the same as expedia from what ive seen, room rates are 50%+ cheaper than just booking a room from their site (crazy).

So on this thread...buddies and i head out to vegas a lot from NYC. By far it one of the best places in the world to party up, pull some young snatch and just have a crazy time. Tables or not, get a room at encore/wynn, put some marginal effort into your appearance and provided you have 10% game you're basically sorted. America is generally very PC - but somehow 'what happens in vegas stays in vegas' gives everyone an excuse to be themselves and get crazy. The shit girls do there is 100x what they do in their hometown. Getting a room at a decent hotel (with a decent club) allows you to pull them back to the room, fuck them for 30min, clean them up and drop them back off with their friends (without the group really knowing) - most women there want an excuse to be slutty and not get the slut shamming from their peers, you just have to enable them.

An even better thread would be: go to Vegas once a year and do it big time...or...go 6x a year and learn how to cut corners strategically while still getting it in. I guess only works for SoCal and Arizona, etc folks who can go there for cheap

I dont disagree, but thats where the analytics come into play. Flight from East Coast - 400. Nice hotel for 3 days - another 1k. 3 days/nights at 300/day and you are pushing 2500 for a 3 day weekend. Sure, you can have fun for $2500 a weekend, but is it really worth the price? Some guys can say yes, some guys don't agree, and to each his own.

Here is the thing guys, you can't have that "bean counter" mentality in Las Vegas.

The "Accountant Mentality Type Guy" gets buried alive in that city. And no one will hear you scream.

You have to loosen up and have fun in that town. The "I bought her a coffee for $1.75 and a drink for $10 with tip... but I have a two drink maximum on a third date..." thinking just doesn't work. Throw that out the window.

You need to at least give an impression of Cash Flow, then the doors open up.

I don't know if this kind of thinking makes sense.

If you wan't "Las Vegas" you aren't going find it in DR or Mex.

(You can in Miami Beach, actually better, but that is going to cost you the same...potentially more with gambling taken out of the picture.)

If you wan't "Las Vegas" you are going to have to pay for it.

No free lunch.

It's like I have said on here many times and only gotten crickets: "Show me Miami Beach with $5 cocktails and I am there."

Bottom line, Vegas isn't for the "budget traveler".

But you can live like a Millionaire for a fraction.

The first 3 times I went to Vegas I had less than $100 and no room reservations anywhere. I was broke with my broke ass friends and we would roll into Vegas playing nickel slots, weaseling free drinks from cocktail servers, and passing out in hotel lobbies. Eventually we'd get kicked out and we'd move onto another casino and do the same thing. Granted this was almost 10 years ago and maybe things have changed, but we never got laid. We didn't go there to get laid. We went to have a blast, and that's what we did.

Stop dropping major coin, lose the ridiculous expectations, and just go to have fun. I know having fun is an antiquated notion to some, but Vegas is a goddamn wonderland for me. It's hours from L.A. and I can be drunk in public and act like a degenerate and if anything that type of behavior is encouraged.

Change your tider settings to Phoenix/Scittsdale area and look at all that talent.

Great night life scene. Eveything from yoga milfs to college girls and everyone in between.

I'm doing a trip again there soon.

I don't think we disagree. It all depends on what you want from Las Vegas. I don't believe in cheaping out and nickel and diming shit either. But if I want to chill someplace and hit up local girls that are easier and friendlier than where I am, is Las Vegas the place for me? Not necessarily.

It's not the money per se it is also the time and logistical effort necessary for a 3-day weekend. Anyway, I think Vegas makes sense for a lot of people (WC for sure). I have just realized it's not for me.

I spent a few days Phoenix/Scottsdale last week. The talent is definitely impressive. Tempe (where ASU is located) is nearby and also hosts great talent. I had the most fun I've had in a while at this divey club called School of Rock.

I was in Scottsdale just a few months ago in April. This is my data sheet on it.

There is talent for sure, especially if you like blondes. Real friendly chicks. It's no Vegas though. Nightlife shuts down at 2am, so if you're an East Coast guy you have to prepare to go out earlier. However, it is far easier on the pockets than Vegas. A cab from the airport in PHX to Old Town Scottsdale is like $30. Then you just need a spot somewhere there (The W, Hotel Indigo, or the Marriott). You gotta stay in Old Town because everything there is within walking distance. During the day you can hit the pool at the W Hotel and lay up in cabana no problem. Just order drinks and you're good. I recommend it.

This is true. I just ran some dates in November, first for hotel only and then for both hotel and airfare. When I ran the hotel and airfare, the prices were several hundred dollars cheaper than they were when I checked just the hotel rates for the same dates.

Damn, bro. Great tip. I just ran some dates and the price is unbelievably inexpensive.

Ran a trip to Encore, arriving at Thursday and leaving on MOnday. Only $814.

Split the room with a guy. He books his own ticket for $150 or so.

So you're looking at $500 each for two guys to do 4 days.

Grab a cabana one or two days, and it's still an inexpensive trip.

Splitting a room with a guy is like making a deposit in the bank of no wild sex on vacation. Just saying but with all the dollar amounts flying around here minds well leave the country or come visit me in Highlands NC where I'm at now.

Not in Vegas. Bring a slut back while your guy is still out running game.

It's not like the girls stick around your room. She goes in, you fuck, and then you party more.

Or you get a suite and you're in the bedroom and the other guy is in the "living room."

I don't get the obsession with money.

Why not just get hookers if every fuck has to comport with some economic calculation?

It doesn't have to be that complicated.

Go out, have fun, eat good food, drink good wine, fuck, and enjoy life.

I've even banged girls with a guy in the next "room" and vice versa.

Get cooler friends and sharing a suite won't be a problem.

One thing we were talking about is using hotel tonight to book a last minute room for not too much. There may be a cutoff time but it was still working at 2am.

How about planning for success and being your own man and not telling anyone to take a walk because you're too cheap to make your own logistics work away from home?

You guy know that shit never works right why kid yourselves??

agreed on the rookie move in general, but generally this doesn't apply in vegas (provided you have a nice room). The girl more often wants to get in and out, so call your boy and tell him gtfo in the worst case. As mentioned, crash the living room, or the bedroom. The girl generally couldnt give a fuck, perhaps if theyre 30+, bu the 21-29 crowd no drama.
